Any good pick ups at the National?

[Number13]

Anyone have any good pick ups at the National yet? Just curious because I can't get out there until Saturday.:( I'm like a little kid who can't wait to go to Disneyworld.

[Preston]

Nothing outstanding, but I did pick up a 2005 Vikings gamer w/ an anniversary patch from JO for what I thought to be a very good price. Will post pics tomorrow.

[HawaiiSportsNut]

I hope someone will post some pics for those of us that weren't able to make it.

Is it worth attending for baseball game jerseys/bats/etc.? or is it mostly the same sellers as previous years, gamewornuniforms, hartel, etc..?

[BU54CB]

I went last night (Wed) after work, there were at least 10-15 dealers that I saw that had GU items from multiple sports.

I picked up a Chris Harris Bears home jersey from the NFC Championship game for a great price. They had a ton of stuff there, some for great prices.

There were quite a few auction houses there, they had some great displays of a wide variety of items.

I thougth $20 to get in the door was assinine, add that to parking and you've spent about $35 to get in the door.

[MikeSharon]

Cant make it this year but in the past have found some great deals
1989 Biggio bat that was hammerd auto and uncracked for 125
an 1980's Reggie Jackson angels goodman for 115
a game used Musial bat from his last year for 600
1982 Rickey henderson A's for 425

the deals are always out there if you look
good luck to all who can go if there are any old Astros there for a good price let me know

Was this from the guy who had pretty much every pair of gloves Urlacher and Greg Olsen wore in the past 5 years? I am contemplating buying a pair of the Urlachers.

[Preston]

So far here are my pick-ups game used wise:

Culpepper from 05 as previously referenced (JO COA)

Chris Canty 2007 Cowboys gamer (COA Steiner) - photomatched to game against Seahawks

No, I got the jersey from JO Sports. Are you going back?

[BU54CB]

Did you see the dealer that had all the older Eagles and 49ers jerseys? They were reasonably priced but didn't have time to sort through them as the wife was with me.

[russyurk]

I didn't pick up any game used today but what did catch my eye, besides the museum quality pieces the aution houses were previewing, were the 60's era A's vests that Hartel was selling. They had dozens in white, gray and gold.....very cool.

[SkubeBats]

Picked up these 2009 All Star Game Prince Fielder spikes.

[hockeytigers]

Does anybody know who has the older Eagles and 49ers jerseys at the show?

[Preston]

I am going back tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday...and I don't think I saw this booth? Do you remember what company they were and where (approximately) they were located?

[trsent]

No, you were at both 433 for the gloves you saw. Came right from the players.

[frikativ54]

Picked up these 2009 All Star Game Prince Fielder spikes.

Nice cleats.

[BIGSTIG]

Preston - The guy that had all the gloves is Bergie Sports. He is a nice guy and gets all the stuff direct. I picked up Greg Olsens pink cancer awareness cleats and a pair of G-Regs gloves as well. He was selling G-Regs gloves signed for $25 a pair!!! I know he is no longer a Bear, but at those prices, I couldnet pass it up.

[BU54CB]

I don't remember the exact location, but when you come in the main entrance, they are about 2-3 rows back and 2-3 rows to the right. Their racks are 3 rows tall and very long, they have plastic containers in front of their booth filled with bargain GU items.

That Bergie's booth is pretty close the JO booth.

I picked up a couple new Bears jerseys (photos to come after I visit camp to try to get them signed on Wed.) My good friend Rob hooked me up with a home Peanut Tillman labeled as being from 2005 (just photo matched it to the NFL Championship game against the Saints which paved the way for the Super Bowl), a home Nick Roach from '09 vs. the Eagles and an away Chris Harris from 2010 vs the Dolphins (this game marked the 700th regular season win in Bears history - the Urlacher, Peppers and Cutler from this game are on display at the Hall of Fame in Canton, OH). Pretty damn good day at the National. Thanks again ROB!

[Number13]

I picked up an old county stadium seat. Seat number 13 of course. In a way it was game used. There is always something you never plan on getting.

[scottanservitz]

Got a sweet Carew gamer I posted on the August thread.....very happy.

Scott

[saftey45]

I picked up a Duerson and Latta Chicago Bears jersey, both had tons of wear and repairs. Will get pictures of them later tonight.

[R_Aaronson]

I picked up a GU uncracked Thome black LVS bat on Saturday for 400. I will post pics tomorrow in the August Pick-ups thread. Pretty sweet bat!

I agree. I helped a friend all week (except Thursday, I slept all day Thursday) and I couldn't believe it was $20.00 admission. I used to go to coin and currency shows in the same building, and they gave free admission to the public. Why do they need to charge $20.00 to get into a trade show trying to collect more money from the public? It is insane and poor marketing.

The dealer tables and corporate booths are no bargains to rent for the week. If they wanted to charge $5.00 to get it, that would be reasonable, but $20.00 make it hard for a family of four to attend the event.

Very poor marketing showing a lack of respect for the exhibitors.

Could that have been the booth gamewornuniforms.com ?

[Preston]

Terdell Sands game worn Raiders jersey (JO COA) w/ lots of wear especially on the shoulder areas

Brian Urlacher signed, game worn gloves w/ holograms

[commando]

I picked up a Duerson and Latta Chicago Bears jersey, both had tons of wear and repairs. Will get pictures of them later tonight.

A Duerson and a Latta? I'd love to see those pics, great players. Probably cost a pretty penny right there in Chicago!

[mmonte4]

Anyone see any Michael Jordan GU stuff? Seems his stuff would be plentiful based on the location.

The only thing that I saw was a pair of GU original Jordan's, forgot who had them though. There of course was probably more since it was in Chicago, but was not looking too hard.

I knew I should have went. Would've loved to have those!

[Number13]

I had a great time Saturday and Sunday, but next time that I go I'm gonna plan on going all the days. Wasn't able to absorb it all in in just 2 days. Didn't take my time to look at everything. I'm sure I missed something I would have wanted.:(

[hohlernr1]

Sounds like everyone had a pretty good time. I'm kinda mad I didn't end up going, but it's probably a good decision as I probably would've spent way too much money.

Definately planning on going next year. I think it's in Cleveland! Which is great since I grew up about an hour away. I think I should start setting money aside each month beginning now! Would love to go in there with a pretty hefty budget and snag some dream pieces!

[70to66]

I heard it was Baltimore next year.

[Buster23!]

It's in B-more in 2012. 110% for sure. I hope you meet some GUU member there

[70to66]

Somebody told me they thought it was back in Chicago/Rosemont in 2013,
Is that true?

[Number13]

Baltimore 2012, Chicago 2013, Cleveland 2014, Chicago 2015, 2016-17 TBD, and 2018 Cleveland...according to Beckett publication on National.

[ahuff]

Who was the dealer that had all of the A's flannels?

[salukidave]

I picked up an Alexei Ramirez uncracked X bat from 2009 that's autographed and absolutely hammered for $120.
